As a Vim user I find the Vintage mode VERY useful.If you don't know if to keep or not the Vintage mode into the future just think about that a plug-in (ViEmu) to enable Vim mode for VisualStudio cost almost double the price of Sublimetext. There is also an add-on for Firefox to enable Vim like navigation.

Personally I think Vintage is the way to go. Will be hard to learn at the beginning but after passing the learning curve you will just don't get back. Vim mode is just so fast and powerful.

Being a console-exclusive, kind'o power-user Vi 7.3 user, I must say the Vintage mode catched my interest pretty fast. I guess if you keep on implementing the core features (navigation, selection), you may well convince many people to switch. Many vim users would be happy with the 20% Vim features they're used to. Some may never consider using Sublime for it's not FOSS, but most of them already run proprietary GPU drivers, so you never know
